Nothing is as amusing and exciting
as when a woman realizes that she is pregnant. Her whole world now revolves
around her tummy and her baby inside. She starts asking questions about her
pregnancy to everyone around her like her parents, friends, colleagues and
doctors. Mixed feelings, emotions and anxiety fills her mind as she starts
getting the initial pregnancy symptoms.
The early signs of pregnancy can be
anything from feeling drowsy to vomiting every morsel of food or water. This
really frightens the pregnant woman and everyone around her.
During such severe
pregnancy symptoms always consult the family gynecologist who might suggest
some mild medication to reduce such symptoms. These symptoms are unavoidable
and can vary from person to person. Some women experience no symptoms at all
whereas others find it difficult to even move around. These symptoms will last
during the initially stages and so it is best to stay calm till it subsides
after say the fourth month of the pregnancy calendar or little beyond.
It is always good to maintain a
pregnancy calendar to monitor the different stages of pregnancy week by week.
The growth of the baby is easy to analyze through this report. Generally the
consulting doctor will maintain a chart about the progress. Regular checkup and
follow up on the doctor’s advice and counsel will help the expectant mother to
go through the different stages hassle and stress free. There are many books
available on pregnancy and child birth. The expectant mother can go through
them in her free time for more clarification on when to expect what during the
different stages.
The elders at home can be of great
help to the expectant mother by offering her best advice and sharing their own
experiences. Listening to such tales will instill confidence and reduce the
fear for child birth. Many women have nightmares when they don’t know how
painful or stressful the final stage of pregnancy is going to be. Especially
when it is their first child the mothers are anxious and even a small
discomfort will increase their fear and tension. Pregnant mothers can check
online resources like pregnancy symptom quiz, videos and lots of related
material and e-books which will give more knowledge of what to expect and when
to expect during the course of the different stages of pregnancy.
No amount of bookish knowledge will
actually help you when it comes to real experience. Try to stay calm and cool
and go through the symptoms and other discomforts for the sake of the baby
inside. Try to maintain good health, eat healthy food rich in proteins,
minerals, vitamins and iron. Try not to take any medication without consulting
the doctor. Drink lots of liquid in the form of clean water, fresh fruit juices
and soups. Exercise moderately under consultation of the doctor and try to
mediate and keep your mind stress and problem free.
The long wait during the
pregnancy period is forgotten when the baby comes into the world. So remain
stress free and enjoy every moment of the new experience that your child is
giving you.
